San Martino di Castrozza, lies at 1466 meters above sea level in a very green basin, which frame woods of white and red fir trees and beech trees and is dominated by spectacular Dolomitico Gruppo delle Pale di San Martino, which stands out in the sky like a majestic gathering of giants and which has fed a thousand legends.

The Pale di San Martino mountain range is among the most interesting and fascinating from the naturalistic and geological point of view of the planet: with its overhanging walls, ridges, gullies, glaciers, spires and forks that change color as the intensity of daylight changes and seasons is one of the more seductive natural shows than the so-called 'Coral Mountains'. The Pale are made up of dolomite, a sedimentary rock that takes its name from those who discovered it at the end of the 18th century: Déodat de Dolomieu.

San Martino is livened by grandiose hotels, villas that overlook squares animated by luxury shops, restaurants and bars that make it one of the most renowned and popular international tourist resorts, both in winter and summer, for holidays, trekking, mountaineering, shopping, brilliant mundanit& agrave; and, of course, skiing (thanks to the ski lifts and a convenient free ski bus service that allows easier access to over 45 km of ski slopes, to the snowpark on the Alpe Tignola, to the very modern ski schools and Nordic ski centers).

In particular, San Martino is an excellent starting point for climbing or high-altitude excursions, also for the presence of numerous shelters that rise at the foot of the rock walls such as, for example, the Pedrotti Hut that rises on the “lunar” plateau of the Pale at more than 2500 meters high or the Tognola Hut, equipped with solarium and games for children.
